<h3 class="heading3">Hosting Personal Web Pages on Your Web Server</h3>
<p class="bodytext">You can host on your Web server personal Web pages for individuals who do not need their own domain names. This service is popular with educational institutions that host non-commercial personal pages of their students and staff.</p>
<p class="bodytext">These pages usually have Web addresses like http://your-domain.com/~username.</p>
<p class="procedureheading">To accommodate a personal web page on your server, allocate a separate Web space and set up an FTP account for publishing:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Domains</strong> shortcut in the navigation pane.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the required domain name in the list.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Web Users</strong> icon.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">Preferences</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If you wish to allow execution of scripts embedded in personal web pages, select the <strong class="specialbold">Allow the web users scripting</strong> check box.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>. <p class="listcontinue">The settings you have defined at the step 5 are common for all personal Web pages you might host on your Web server. Therefore, you will not need to perform the steps 4 to 6 next time you set up a Web space for a personal Web page.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">Add New Web User</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Specify a user name and password that will be used for accessing the web space through FTP and publishing the web page. <p class="listcontinue">You can use only lowercase alphanumeric, hyphen and underscore symbols in user name. The user name should begin with an alphabet character. It cannot contain white spaces. The password cannot contain quotation marks, white space, user's login name, and should be between 5 and 14 characters in length.  </p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Specify the programming languages that should be supported for the Web page. <p class="listcontinue">For example, if the web page is written in PHP, select the <strong class="specialbold">PHP support</strong> check box.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If you wish to limit the amount of disk space that can be occupied by the Web page content, type the desired value in megabytes into the <strong class="specialbold">Hard disk quota</strong> box.<p class="listcontinue">When the specified limit is exceeded, the Web page owner will not be able to add files to his or her Web space.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber"> Click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>.</li></ol><p class="bodytext">Now you can tell your user the FTP account credentials, so that he or she can publish their Web page.</p>
